How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Pros:

I appreciate Softgarden for its user-friendly interface, customizable features, and comprehensive tools for streamlining the recruitment process. The platform's ability to centralize candidate management, provide detailed analytics, and offer a seamless experience from job posting to onboarding are commonly mentioned as strengths.

Cons:

I think i liked everything however, I have noted that the pricing structure and additional costs for certain features can be a consideration. Some users also express preferences for more advanced customization options in specific functionalities. It's advisable to review current user feedback or contact Softgarden directly for the most up-to-date information on any potential concerns.

Nice, user-friendly application supporting mainstream recruiting needs. What I really like and appreciate is having the opportunity to discuss my specific customer needs with a Sr. Support Representative who is not only extremely knowledgeable but also very responsive providing effective solutions in a very timely manner.

Pros:

Ease of use, additional plug-ins such as CV parsing, Video conferencing, interfaces to jobportals. Regular helpdesk support is timely and effective.

Cons:

My top 3 points: 1. Creating job ads is cumbersome at times. If you don't follow a detailed procedure, you have to go all the way back to the beginning to e.g. copy the Job ID. 2. Also I would prefer "automatic" saving. Though I am an advanced user, I lost data at times because I forgot to save it. 3. The in-built reporting feature is user-friendly. However, I'd prefer being able to extract all data to run my own analysis.

Pros:

After three years of using softgarden, I can confirm without hesitation that this system fully meets the needs of recruiting and building a positive corporate image! The most significant advantage of softgarden ATS is that it can be fully personalized for the organization, and there are no limits on the most critical functionalities (number of users, workflows, roles, messages). Such solutions make the work of recruiters easier and more efficient, especially if there are several of them in the organization and each runs different processes. In addition, softgarden offers a module for creating a customized career page and an employee referral module, which can be easily implemented in the company. Such solutions enable HR Departments to build and nurture a positive employer image outside and inside the organization. All solutions offered by softgarden show that the company can adapt to the ever-evolving role of the HR Department and that it recognizes and responds to newly emerging needs in this area. The icing on the cake of working with softgarden is the individual account manager who is always available and able to find a solution to any challenge. I am completely satisfied with my choice of softgarden and would not change it to any other software!

Cons:

It works very well for us; I don't have any comments.

Great Success

The main benefits of implementation for the organisation were/are GDPR compliant management of applicant data, more sophisticated recruitment data analytics, an enhanced candidate experience and efficiency gains in the process overall. In terms of the features and functionalities offered by the software it is advisable to check in advance to what extent specific features and functionalities considered critical for the hiring organisation are already available and/or can be added and/or further customized, to be in line with internal processes highly dependant on the organisational context and as such more individual.

Functionality

Pros:

The software is very user-friendly and intuitive as confirmed by hiring managers and other colleagues involved in selection processes in the organisation after 6+ months of introduction and roll-out (very popular features are in particular internal requests for approval of new requisitions and the interview scorecard to facilitate assessment of candidacies). The implementation was a very smooth process thanks also to the excellent customer support at Softgarden. Feedback to follow-up questions is always very quick and helpful and requests for customization are also considered and (where possible) realized.

Cons:

The Softgarden Shop including the recruitment advertisement channels with a direct interface could be expanded to include more recruitment advertisement channels especially if these are channels highly relevant and frequently used by the hiring organisation (as also depending on the market operating in, in terms of both profiles hired for and desired reach both nationally and internationally). The integration with LinkedIn as very important recruitment channel for many organisations could be more seamless and it is understood that updates here will be available soon.

softgarden helps us to find suitable candidates

Ease of use

Pros:

I value cooperation with softgarden mainly because the solution is tailored to the employer's needs. As we all know, the labor market, which is "the candidate market" - is changing dynamically, and therefore employers are increasingly struggling to find the right employees. The tools provided by softgarden (careers page or feedback solution), based on candidate market research, increase the chances of finding suitable applicants. I gladly used softgarden’s careers page solution, which allowed me to build a professional careers page smoothly thanks to the good cooperation with the consultant. I also appreciate the accessibility of the account managers and their efforts to find the right solution to a problem. From the perspective of a person who is also involved in recruiting, what is important to me is the softgarden's openness to change, continuous product development, and striving to improve recruitment processes, as well as care for security in the acquisition and processing of the candidate's data.

Cons:

No solution is perfect, but softgarden is performing well in all key areas.

Optimization of processes and excellent candidate experience

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Thanks to the implementation of softgarden, we optimized recruitment processes, shortened the time of analyzing the application, and ensured consistent communication with our candidates. The system is intuitive and allows us to manage applications from many sources. The additional "questions for candidates" feature helps filter candidate applications more efficiently and saves time for our recruiting teams. In addition, thanks to softgarden, we are constantly expanding the database of candidates for the needs of future recruitment processes. Candidates also receive ongoing information about their application stage, which is very important when working on building partner relations with the candidate. Thanks to the candidate feedback option, we know how we can improve our recruitment processes and create a better candidate experience. As an environmentally friendly company, we aim to reduce the consumption of materials and energy and implementing the system helped reduce CV printing. Therefore, cooperation with softgarden helps us achieve our CSR goals. Professional support during the implementation and usage of the system is also a significant advantage.

Cons:

I find this solution user-friendly and well-designed; I have no issues with it.

It is very simple and efficient with excellent features

It's really easy to use, even if you're not used to the candidate management tools. The follow-up and coordination of several applicants is simple and clearly organized. Within the job, you can add different colleagues to that job.

I had technical problems, many changes in the tool in a short time. More flexibility is needed to adapt the software to any need. Unfortunately, it is not possible to edit the mail templates. Does not have the ability to adapt your work style as personalization in any special way.
